What is CVE-2016-0887?

The vulnerability found in RSA BSAFE products allows remote attackers to exploit weaknesses in the key generation process. By utilizing a Lenstra side-channel attack, an attacker can deduce a private-key prime during a TLS session due to the application's failure to properly detect an RSA signature failure. This can compromise secure communications and potentially expose sensitive information, making it crucial for affected users to apply the necessary patches.
